Making Money Online is like stepping into a maze where all the signposts point to the same destination, but they all point in different directions! If you are looking for a magic formula to follow that will set you up in a profitable Home Based Business you are going to be snowed under with an avalanche of information.
Which Guru do you follow? Which plan will really pay off? And what about this scenario...
You find a plan that shows you step by step how to research your niche market, set up a blog and start cashing in on affiliate sales.
But a couple of days after you've set up your money making system an attractive advert catches your eye.
The persuasive sales page promises riches beyond your dreams...
and it all seems so simple! So you abandon the plan you were working on and start on the new plan...
which involves you writing lots of articles to drive traffic to your site.
This is hard work, and pretty soon your eye starts to wander again and you inevitably find another new plan that promises riches beyond your wildest dreams...
but this time you don't have to do any work for it! Does that sound familiar? We all suffer from Information Overload.
Too much stuff flying at us faster than we can properly process it.
One of my Top Tips for anyone starting on the Home Business trail is to plan out what you want to achieve in each work session and to achieve it BEFORE you check your email inbox.
Because however many fabulous schemes you start, and however clever those money-making methods seem, you will not make any money unless you can FOCUS on putting those schemes into action.
The best ideas in the world are useless if they remain as plans with a wooly completion date sometime in the cloudy future.
Trial and error is the best teacher.
And you will have to learn some basic skills to succeed with your online business adventure.
Pick a plan, stick to it and ignore all distractions until you've proved it works, or you've proved it doesn't work! There are some clever marketeers out there whose lifetime experience is dedicated to distracting you from what you're doing.
That's their job! By all means take a look at every Guru-hyped money-making online-business system that comes along.
But once you've chosen one...
stick with it! Learn your basic internet skills and don't allow yourself to get side-tracked.
Focus for Success.
